As the larger being reigned over him, Aegon listened carefully with interest. Vio held his attention. The other responded with consideration and a hum, catching his curiosity. Pleased, no. Pleasure, not at all. Survival, indeed. The lion could agree with their sentiment and nodded along with their words. Mortals and their desire to thrive kept his interest peaked, after all. Unlike the horseman, they had an expiration date. One, sometimes, he knew of. He could only imagine what mortality felt like which is why he was so intrigued by it and it's intricacies.
The lion looked between the bones and the other, only to settle on Vio after a few moments. "A means to an end," he merely repeated back with a similar hum. "That, I suppose, is a fair trade." At least he thought so. It meant another life came into his realm while another on mortal Earth thrived.
He moved slightly closer. A paw cascaded up to the skull's edge and rubbed along it's narrow snout. It was a beautiful specimen. Aegon could only imagine what was going to be done with it's remains, causing him to look back up at the other with a narrowed gaze. "What are your plans from here?" he questioned.
